Better protein

**GoLdeN M 07** · 07-12-2006, 12:53 PM

Which source of protein is better for building and adding development to the smaller muscles of the upperbody like the biceps and shoulder heads (idk if it makes a difference on what type of muscle)? The natural protein found in meats like chicken or beef or whey protein?

And i know that i should focus more on building overall mass and i always do so no one please remind me.

You're muscle doesn't differentiate the protein and aminos once it's broken down.

Whey Post Workout....whole food any other time. Whey is "natural" protein fyi. You'll get more responses in Diet and Nutrition

along with chicken and other meat ive been eating high protein bars for a while now which have whey protein and they're starting to taste like crap so i was wondering if i could just replace them with more meat instead (if meat is better for muscle building for shoudlers and biceps).

protein is protein. if u can get it from a natural source (meat), that's better.
but it's not gonna make your shoulders and biceps any bigger.

Sure go ahead, meat is fine.

I think a variety of amino acid profiles is desireable, but just do your best to consume complete proteins (Dairy, meat, whey, etc.) and call it a day.

try not to by the ones that taste like crap, those are like the cheap ones with a little bit of protein.

try to get those better tasting one's ... gnc should have alot of those, also try balley or 24 hour fitness.

good luck
